How old are YOU?

I have only been on this board for a short while. But given the stereotype of DTS owners and the topics of discussion, I gather that despite the youth-bias of the internet, the average age here is a little on the high end. Anyone care to fess up? (Vote above.)

Re: How old are YOU?

Being a Cadillac owner, and having also spent time in the trenches of new car sales with a Buick franchise some years ago, your assessment will undoubtedly be accurate. Both brands appeal to a more mature audience. It is simply the demographics for these vehicles. What will throw off your poll results though is what you have already observed. While I, at 52, like to monitor this forum, my 85 year old neighbors down the street, who also drive new DTS's are probably relaxing on the golf course, instead of reading this forum....and I wish I was with them, instead of sitting here in my office staring out the window.

Re: How old are YOU?

I am 61. I have ALWAYS been drawn to luxury cars, even when I was age 21. My cars have included 2 Cadillacs - a deVille and a Sixty Special, 3 Lincolns, a Mark 7 and a Mark 8 and a Town Car, 1 Buick, an Electra 225 Custom and 10 (yes, ten) Imperials. 2 Crowns, and 8 LeBarons.

That's 16 of the 20 cars I owned, in 40 years. All were bought new. The other 4 were 3 Mustangs and a Gran Prix GTP Special Edition.

Re: How old are YOU?

Im 27, my dad had an 88 caddy deville which i rebuilt, and ummm i just never thought any car is a car if its not a cadillac. ok a few but you have to admit in terms of luxury you get the greatest bang for your buck on a caddy. I rebuilt my dad's 88 (unfortunately with a 89' engine - not so smooth of a move 50kmiles so far with it) but I just picked up an 07 DTS. CTS are making an impact on your 40 and younger crowd, but a DTS spells cadillac more than the CTS and the STS. If you do your homework you can find great deals on pre-certified caddy's with low mileage which come out cheaper than a honda accord - so why wouldnt you get a caddy at that point - afraid of luxury?

Re: How old are YOU?

I am 30 years young. My first car when I was 14 was a 1982 Seville...ok the 4.1 didn't last long, but I did have it for a short time. Currently own four Caddys...91 Fleetwood, 91 Sixty Special (for sale w/ under 19k on it), 93 Deville and a newly added 06 DTS. The 4.1 sucked...the 4.9's rock...and I'm warming up to the newer Northstars. Just can't get a nicer ride for the cash.

Re: How old are YOU?

An observation: regardless of age, most people are drawn to the DTS as the successor to the large Cadillac's of yester-year. It would seem that the DTS is finding few fans without a sense of nostalgia.

Re: How old are YOU?

Hi Sandy! Sorry to inform you that the 93 is only a Sedan...a basic one at that...leather...yep, thats about it for options...pretty standard.

As for the 60...you already know her...she's the Cotillion over Ruby with under 19k on her. I am hoping to find a buyer for her that will take care of her and not use her as a daily driver. She was built exactly as I would have ordered other than missing the cold weather package...has everything else...ok, maybe I'd have ordered the Bose CD instead of Bose cassette...but actually in 91 I may have still wanted the cassette. Anyway, I need to sell her...at least that is my thought as of today...I could change my mind tomorrow. I want to sell her and yet I want to buy the 91 and 93 Fleet Coupes that have been posted over the last few days!!...whats wrong with me??? I think you and I are similar creatures Sandy!

Re: How old are YOU?

Im 20, my first car when i was 17 was a 1994 Eldorado,
After owning that car just untill october of this year, i decided i would never own another brand of car besides Cadillac. I loved the luxury of the inside and the absolute comfort. I miss the 5.7L Northstar engine also! My new ride is a 2004 CTS: which ive had my eye one since ive owned my first caddy. After several problems and much to many miles and accidents (non my fault) i decided it was time for a new vehicle. I traded the Eldorado in for a grand and put it toward my CTS. Cadillac is unbeatable in my book, no other car can come close. Cadillac For Life!

Re: How old are YOU?

Like i said i am big cars all the way.My wife had a Lincoln Townie prior to her new car.You think you see Gray heads in a Caddy showroom a Lincoln showroom is like Sun city Arizona. I think Caddy should leave DTS big they have done well with the CTS and other cars to get people under 50 into showrooms.

Re: How old are YOU?

I'm 28 years old & I ride a 2006 DTS. True, older generations are more inclined to drive vehicles such as the DTS than younger generations, but I think it all boils down to the character & personality of the person - not thier age. Not everyone can pull off being a Cadillac owner. I was the first person in my group of friends to buy a Cadi. I've sold cars for 3 years now, and after I sold mine to myself, I then sold Cadi's to 3 of my friends who are all in the same age group. As far as I go, I've always been into B-I-G cars. The first car I ever owned was a 1983 Lincoln Continental Mark VI, then a 1993 Buick Regal Custom & now my Cadi named Lita. Now that I have her, I know that I'll never drive another brand of car...

Re: How old are YOU?

I'm 18. At the auto show this year all my friends were making fun of me because they all flocked to the new CTS and I couldn't be pulled away from the DTS. I would much rather have an "old people car" than something new a sporty. I love the big, cushy feeling of my 88 Fleetwood.

Re: How old are YOU?

We got our first Caddy 4 years ago, a 2000 Deville. I've always wanted one, my father was an Olds & Caddy mechanic for 45 years. Seems odd that we bought the 2000 at the Dodge dealer where the wife works. Just traded that one in for a 2006 black on black DTS. I've always driven an Olds, but FINALLY got the Caddy fever for good. At 53 I get stares from everybody cause my usuall outfit is jeans and a tee shirt.
